Contact

Office: Nobelstr. 8, Room i201Meetings are usually in meeting room i206 or i207. Use the phone at the door to call me, if I am not already in one of the meeting rooms.

Office hours (for students):Make an appointment.If no suitable slots are available or outside lecture time, please write an email.

Mail policy

Like many, I unfortunately face an increasing amount of incoming email. The following information might be helpful to improve communication:

Notification of absence: In lectures where attendance is required, you have to notify me if you can’t attend. Generally, I do not answer these emails. Consider yourself excused, if you do not hear otherwise.

Almost any question about a lecture, besides very personal ones, should be posted in the respective Moodle forum. Rule of thumb: if in doubt, use Moodle.

Occasionally (admittedly too often), mails “slip through” if I do not answer them immediately and when they get out of sight due to many new mails. If you got no response after three work days, it is ok and even advisable to send me a reminder (in the hope that this doesn’t slip through, too…).
